Felicia Riner started volunteering with
the Tennessee chapter of the Huntington's
Disease Society of America because the
disease significantly impacted her life.
Huntington's disease is a fatal genetic
disorder that causes the breakdown of nerve
cells in the brain. Both of her sons are living
with the disease.
Despite her family's battle with
Huntington's, Felicia is "always so kind and a
breath of fresh air whenever she comes into
the branch,'' said Redstone's Fayetteville
Branch Manager Erica Smith.
Finding the positive in any situation is
Felicia's superpower, she says. It's power that
comes from prayer.
Her community is one of those positive gifts.
"Community is people sharing, caring, and
supporting one another. We are so blessed
here in Lincoln County to have that kind of
community,'' said Felicia. "I was born here,
never left, and have no plans to.''
In addition to her work with the
Huntington's organization, she volunteers
at the Lincoln County Community
Development Center. It provides
services for individuals with
disabilities and their families. Her
"paid" job is as a teacher at Lincoln
County High School.
At both groups, she is responsible for
helping to raise money and awareness.
e Lincoln County Community
Development Center's biggest
fundraiser is coming up on Dec. 2.
Breakfast with Santa is a day filled with
local choirs, fun, food, games, and of
course, Santa.
"Our community is so good to support
us in all these efforts.''
